In the 86th minute of the game, Van Persie's tackle equalized the score.

In an instant, the audience erupted!

At this time, the audience was boiling, and the home fans shouted Van Persie's name loudly.

"Van Persie is doing great!"

"Van Persie, this year's Premier League Golden Boot is still yours!"

Among the fans in the audience, the North Stand cheered the most. The "King of Demons" Fan Association, under the leadership of the chairman Cook, shouted Van Persie's name in unison, and the voices became louder and louder.

The Manchester United players in the audience were extremely excited. He surrounded Van Persie and celebrated wildly. It took a long time for the crowd to gradually disperse, revealing Van Persie in the crowd.

Don't look at all Manchester United players celebrating goals, but Van Persie didn't.Not only this time, Van Persie scored goals in two games against Arsenal on behalf of Manchester United last season. Since then, Van Persie has not celebrated every time he scored an Arsenal goal. There was a happy expression and smile, as if it wasn't him who scored the goal.

As early as when Van Persie wore the Red Devils jersey against Arsenal for the first time, at the previous press conference, he said to reporters: "If I score against Arsenal, I will never celebrate."

Facing the applause and cheers of the fans, Van Persie walked slowly towards the center circle. He saw Arsenal players along the way. Van Persie didn't look at them, as if there was nothing but air in front of him. Seeing their former captain standing opposite Arsenal with a blank face, they were filled with emotion.

At this time, Giroud was already standing in the middle circle waiting for the kick-off.He was staring at Van Persie in front of him, and Van Persie was looking at the pitch without even looking at Giroud.

Giroud was furious: Van Persie, are you looking down on me Giroud!In a while, I will definitely let you see how awesome I am Giroud!
After kick-off in the middle circle, Giroud ran forward, but he was stopped by Ozil: "Giroux, have you forgotten the professor's arrangement just now?"

Only then did Giroud react.It turned out that just now, taking advantage of the gap between Manchester United's goal celebration, Wenger called his disciples to the sidelines and made tactical arrangements: "For the remaining few minutes, we will retreat across the board. We can save 1 point at Old Trafford. But, don't let Manchester United have another chance to cross forward."

Giroud stomped his foot.Although he still wanted to score goals and surpass Van Persie, he had to listen to the professor's arrangement. He could only return to his penalty area and continue to help defend.

But although Giroud couldn't score, he was on the bar with Van Persie. He stood beside Van Persie before returning to the penalty area, performing man-to-man tactics, staring at Van Persie.

Malcolm Glazer and Woodward, in the North Stand VIP box, were delighted to see their team score the equalizer and rose to their feet in celebration.Glazer glanced at Ferguson beside him, and saw that he was indifferent to Van Persie's goal just now. Glazer asked puzzledly: "Mr. Jazz, we scored the equalizer goal, why don't you celebrate?"

Ferguson smiled slightly: "I'm old and don't have the energy to celebrate every goal. I'll celebrate with you when I score the overtake goal later."

Glazer looked at the time: "The game is over with 3 minutes left, and it should be impossible to score another goal."

Ferguson smiled: "Malcolm, let's move on."

Although Wenger's team chose a conservative tactic in order to keep a point; Kintag, who equalized the game, did not want to get only a draw. After scoring just now, Kintag conveyed his thoughts to the field Every player: "Keep attacking and win this game!"

Therefore, even if there are only a few minutes left, Manchester United still presses with all their strength, trying to use the last time to try to win the game.

At the 90th minute of the game, the fourth official raised his card - 3 minutes of stoppage time.

"Keep attacking, hurry up!" Jin Taige shouted loudly from the sidelines, directing his players.

Wenger, who was in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, looked at Kim Taeg next to him, and thought to himself: In the last 3 minutes, do you think there is still a chance to overtake?Even if I only scored one point in this game, Arsenal are ahead of Manchester United and ranked fourth in the league.

The 90-minute game was over and it entered the stoppage time period.

At this time, the Manchester United players on the field were still making their final efforts. Martial, who was almost cramped, switched positions with Alonso. Martial defended behind. Vermaelen's tackle just now caused some damage to him, and his ankle was slightly painful.But now that the number of substitutions is exhausted, the team desperately needs to score to get the desired three points, so Martial still insists on the court.

1 minute of stoppage time.

Now even Van Dijk is rushing up, Vidic is a bit exhausted, he can't go up, he let Van Dijk go to the penalty area to fight for the header, and then delay the defense by himself.Anyway, all Arsenal players are now huddled in their own half, and they don't even have the idea of ​​​​fighting back.

Van Dijk rushed into the penalty area, Koscielny immediately left Icardi beside him to mark the taller Van Dijk; Vermaelen replaced him to mark Icardi.

Second minute of stoppage time.

Alonso and Valencia on both sides of Manchester United were tightly marked, and there was no chance of crossing at all, which made Van Dijk in the penalty area also lose the threat.

The game is coming to an end, there is less than 1 minute left, the game is coming to an end, the Manchester United players really can't find a suitable attacking opportunity, they keep passing the ball on the outside, and the Arsenal penalty area is full of people, there is no Can't pass in, and there is no long-range chance.

3 minute of stoppage time.

Just when everyone thought the game would end with a 1-1 result, something suddenly happened on the field.

Rooney handed the ball to Van Persie. At this time, Giroud was tightly attached to Van Persie's side, and Van Persie couldn't turn around at all.But no one thought that Van Persie knocked the ball back, and the ball passed between Giroud's legs.

Van Persie passed Giroud, he turned and ran towards the goal, and he was about to enter the penalty area.

Giroud was shocked!He didn't expect that he was passed by Van Persie!At this time, Van Persie was about to hit the penalty area!
If Van Persie is allowed to enter the penalty area, then Arsenal's goal will be in danger!

Giroud didn't have time to think too much at this time, he instinctively stretched out his foot behind him, hooking Van Persie to the ground.When Van Persie fell to the ground, Giroud prayed to the sky: nothing else matters, I just hope this ball is not a penalty...

For a moment, the audience was silent...
